How does the ink delivery mechanism of the Canon differ from Epson?
According to Barry Levin of The Imagery Group:
"The ink mechanism is ingenious - the ink goes from the cartridges to a reservoir where is it kept for use by the printheads (yes, there are 2). While in the reservoir the ink is kept mixed by an agitator so it doesn't separate, and from there it goes to the printheads. The ink cartridges are drained dry (unlike Epson). The ink also is delivered to the nozzles with slight pressure, minimizing ink jet clog."
Note: Tony Bartlett opened up an empty cartridge and measured the residual ink volume at 5 ml with a syringe. Not bad!
